perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Shawn McKee <>]

Hi Andy,

Couldn't you use an existing perfSONAR toolkit and "point" the MA to the datastore?

For example on this page:  http://uct2-net4.mwt2.org/toolkit/gui/psTracerouteViewer/index.cgi

Hi George,

Also, on the traceroute issue, that is expected at this point. There is no separate package for the traceroute viewer at this time, it is installed as part of the perl-perfSONAR_PS-Toolkit RPM. You can try you hand at installing it from source, but you will have to move over some of the perfSOANR libraries by hand an it can be a bit painful. Source is here: https://github.com/dwcarder/psTracerouteViewer. We are looking at creating an RPM for this in the future.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi George,

Displaying the MU and capacity requires registration in the lookup service. I don’t remember all the names of your servers but i think i can only find one in the lookup service. If I recall correctly, I think some of your servers have limited access to outside networks, so it might just be that they can’t register.

Thanks,

Andy

Brian,

I did a yum update on my standalone, centralized MA/maddash server after we talked on Wednesday.  Here’s a list of the pS packages that were updated:

Apr 29 08:55:18 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-serviceTest-3.4.2-4.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:31 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-Nagios-3.4.2-3.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:31 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-Shared-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:54 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-GUIAgent-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

Apr 29 08:55:54 Updated: perl-perfSONAR_PS-MeshConfig-JSONBuilder-3.4.2-6.pSPS.noarch

The last update to the maddash server was one I did in March when I upgraded from version 1.2.1 to 1.2.4 of maddash-server.

My graphs still display Capacity and MTU unknown and when I hit the traceroute link, I get a Internal Server Error message.  This probably because I built the MA last Autumn from these directions: http://docs.perfsonar.net/multi_central_MA.html and didn’t get all the packages I need to fully integrate the dashboard with the MA installation.

Thanks,

George

Subject: [perfsonar-user] perfSONAR dashboards might need update

 

To Maddash admins:

You might want to run a yum update on your dashboard hosts to make sure you have the latest perfSONAR RPMs. 

We've fixed a couple minor bugs in the perfSOMAR packages that Maddash uses. For example, if your plots are missing the MTU size, a yum update will fix this.
